Over she goes!
Today three brothers came by and between the four of us rolled her over and up onto the trailer.
To prepare to roll it off the trailer onto the ground, I lifted the boat up off the trailer a few inches. Raised the rollers that go down the center of the trailer, and lowered the bunks. Put the boat back down and now the boat is sitting on rollers, not on the bunks. Then opened the 'tilt lock' on the trailer. Three of us at the bow lifting up and pushing back (the trailer is wheel chocked) and she rolled off, stern to the pavement. Then just let the weight of the boat push the trailer the rest of the way out and presto! She's on the ground. Note the straps attached to the braces.


Next, three guys lift up on the Starboard side, the forth adds blocks under the boat. Lift up, add a block, lift up, add a block.

What a collection of goobers!

To roll the boat, two guys are on one side pushing on the bottom (straps in hand), two guys on the other side pulling on their straps. Up and over easy peasy. As the boat passed the mid point, the guys on the 'on-coming' side drop the straps and catch the boat, the guys pushing on the bottom use their straps to slow the roll, and between us gently let the roll continue onto three saw-horses set in place for the boat to land on. Safety tip, before rolling it we made sure the escape path for the guys on the on-coming side was clear. Don't want to be falling over stuff when you are trying to get away from a falling boat!

Now with the Port side on the three horses, we lifted the Starboard side and slide blocks under, raising that side to leve the boat. Then, turned the trailer around and rolled it under the boat. Some jigging & jogging to maneuver the trailer around the steering wheel which I could NOT get off, and she was upside down on the trailer.

The bow is sitting on the bunks, and the braces are sitting on the trailer rail. Note the the braces are centered on the trailer, and that the center post of the brace is aligned with the main keel so that the weight of the boat is transferred from the trailer to the keel.



I will have additional supports on the gunwales when she sits over the winter.
Now I can roll her around as needed.
